I played JRPGs from middle school through early adulthood. After that, a combination of less available time and a shift in game design to put a blatant emphasis on myriad side quests and collect-a-thons kinda dimmed that fire for me.

Then you should probably read the rest of the Aching books first, Irid. Like Fogger, I quite enjoyed them.

Side note, I'm definitely in the camp of those that think Discworld should be read in order of publication. One theme all at a go seems like overkill to me. Not to mention all the little extra stuff you miss skipping books.

Seconded.

When I started reading them (late 90's), over half of the Discworld books weren't available in the States, and I couldn't even get a clear idea of the publication order (apparently they were published in a different order in the USA from in the UK). So I ended up having to order a lot of them from overseas and read them waaaay out of order as a result. While it's tolerable, I wouldn't recommend it.
